Rathod lost balance and fell in the valley along with Gardi, who had caught his hand.

Although tourists saw the incident they did not try to physically stop the men from crossing the safety barrier because they said the men were intoxicated.

The deceased's colleagues, who were unaware of the incident, thought that they were missing and Dayanand Patil, the owner of the poultry farm in which they worked, filed a missing complaint with Amboli police on Monday.
